The market won't lead recovery; stimulus is needed

Q: Do you support or oppose the federal stimulus as better than market-led recovery?

A: Support. The market doesn't "lead recoveries". History is replete with examples of government spending being the key to stabilizing our economy and prosperity.
This is true for as far back in human history as things like this are recorded. Ramses II was the greatest ruler of ancient Egypt because of his HUGE public works programs that brought wealth for its citizens.
History also teaches us that without an aggressive, progressive tax structure, wealth accumulates in the hands of a few.
